Description(s):

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the cells in placenta during pregnancy. The level of hCG increases until 12 weeks of pregnancy and then decreases. If the patient is not pregnant, testing the level of hCG can diagnose cancers because some cancer cells produce hCG as well. The Signosis' hCG Alpha Immunoassay provides a rapid, sensitive, and reliable assay for the quantitative measurement of hCG Alpha level.
